Who are the Friends of All Saints?
The Friends
are a group of local people who want to preserve and protect the church and its
grounds. They value the beautiful church and Priest House and raise money for
them, principally through regular coach trips from Doddinghurst to places of
interest. To give a flavour of these trips - the most recent trip was to Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire, a trip to Ely is planned for the Autumn and the Friends are also looking forward to lunch at the Swan in Lavenham around Christmastime.
How do the Friends of All Saints help the Church?
Over the
years the Friends have contributed to various projects, including the
restoration of the church organ, the renovation of Priest House, the
construction of the War Memorial and the conservation of the ancient processional
cross. They also give financial support to maintenance work in the churchyard.
